Calidad del agua, uso y manejo de filtros de agua de cerámica negra y su relación con infecciones gastrointestinales en niños. Santa Marianita, Nanegal, Ecuador 2018

Introduction: In Ecuador, rural water coverage has not been and does not meet quality parameters in 60 percent of the population. Microbial contamination is associated with childhood morbidity, mainly gastroenteritis and malnutrition. Specific interventions aimed at increasing water quality in promising strategies in rural regions to solve health problems. Black ceramic water filters (BCWF) is a new treatment of household water recently developed to improve bacterial and viral elimination. Method: It was a longitudinal, experimental, parallel, randomized, open and controlled study. The participating families were randomized in the choice of groups: Experimental Group 1: constituted by families that received a black ceramic water treatment for drinking water and group 2 control: constituted by a family that used the usual domiciliary treatment for the consumption of Water. Results: The field studies in the community of Santa Marianita indicate that the microbial contamination of the water during the study, it will be determined that it will be compared with other water treatments, the quality of the water will be completely improved and it will be placed in the acceptable and potable controls. In addition, it was evidenced in the coprological exam made to children under 15 years old who were called at all times colonized by coliform pathogens. Conclusion: The use of this new BCWF prototype potentially improves water quality in the studied scene, but was not objectively demonstrated significant reduction in gastrointestinal diseases.
